At Boulevard, Billy fires Carmine because there have been too many confrontations. Carmine says he has bigger plans for himself and leaves. Billy listens to Nikki's message inviting him to the gala. Melanie arrives. Billy suggests she charge Adam with sexual harassment. She thinks she can support such a claim, but is worried it would prevent her from getting hired elsewhere. She wonders how it would benefit Billy. He explains Victoria's a Newman and he needs a big gesture. Billy talks Melanie into it.

Lauren visits Michael at the station. She tells him Carmine said he would drop all charges if he could have one more night with her. They talk about the video and why it would be upsetting for her to pursue charges. They discuss Fen's drug use. Michael thinks he sees them as a solution. He worries about getting out of there. He's afraid of what Carmine might do.

Victor speaks about MS at the gala and then introduces Nikki. Jack tells Adam that he's going to propose to Phyllis. He wonders where she is and tries to call.

At the cemetery, Phyllis hears Sharon say that she made Nick believe that Jack was Summer's father. She talks about how she put things right. Phyllis' phone rings and Sharon looks at her. Phyllis tells her she heard what she said. Sharon claims it was nonsense. Phyllis asks how she tricked everyone and realizes she broke into the lab and changed the results. Sharon protests. Phyllis says she's going to tell everyone she hurt by doing this and then call the authorities. Sharon pleads as Phyllis takes off.

Nikki talks at the fundraiser. Adam and Jack talk about her being a strong woman. Adam asks him how he's handling the news about Summer. Nick appears. Adam congratulates him for doing something so epic he made him look good. Nick disagrees - he's a psychopath. They bicker. Adam wonders why no one's outraged at Nick. Avery intervenes. Adam goes on about Nick's arrogance. Jack agrees. What Nick did was worthy of the Black Knight himself. Noah, Nikki, and Victor talk about Summer dodging their calls. Nikki spots Victoria watching for Billy. Victoria guesses family isn't a priority for him. Noah joins the Adam and Nick argument. Avery asks Adam to let it go. Adam asks if Avery's let it go. Noah defends Nick and Victor walks over. Jack and Adam step aside. Adam says these family gatherings bring out the carnivore in him. Nikki talks to Jack. Adam leaves.

At Crimson Lights, Raven tells Fen it was stupid to buy stuff from someone in an alley and then OD on it. Fen confides that he told his parents Carmine sold it to him. He says he wants to disappear from the world. Carmine listens as Raven talks to Fen about going on a 'trip' and they don't have to leave town. Carmine speaks to Fen but they leave.

Still at the station, Lauren gets a text from Fen saying he's in trouble and needs her. She asks where he is...

Lauren arrives at a cabin calling out for Fen. Carmine appears. She realizes he sent the text and smacks him.

Fen and Raven enter the coffee house patio. They're hallucinating and laughing.

Summer and Kyle talk at the penthouse. He hopes they can be friends. She can't forget that they almost... He says he can't either, but they have to have willpower. Summer worries about her impulse control - she has none. She asks how she's supposed to shut off her feelings for him. He admits he still feels that way too. They talk about staying away from each other. She says she'll leave town. Kyle goes.

Downstairs at the gala venue, Phyllis decides not to wait for the elevator and heads to the stairs. Sharon is behind her calling out. Phyllis turns and rants at her about what she's done to Summer, a young girl, and how she jeopardized Jack's sobriety. Sharon says he has Phyllis to help him and now he has a daughter. They argue about Nick. Phyllis says Sharon is trying to rewrite history. Sharon tells her they're going to be a family again and there's not a damn thing she can do about it. Phyllis reminds her Nick's with Avery now, and she is going to expose her dirty deed. Phyllis orders, "Get out of my way you demented bitch!" Phyllis pulls out her cellphone and dials Jack. She tells him she is outside the gala and has something to tell him. He can't hear for the applause. Sharon and Phyllis struggle over the phone. Phyllis trips and falls down the stairs, banging her head on the concrete at the bottom.

Genoa City Spoilers for Tomorrow on The Young and the Restless:

Nikki wants to know if Victor said or did anything to keep Billy away from the gala.

Carmine won't let Lauren leave the cabin.

Sharon is over Phyllis' body. Nick and Avery step into the stairwell to kiss.

Well, looks like Sharon will skate on this one for a while - but, most likely, when Summer begins to get romantic about presumed brother Noah, Sharon will be forced to confess all - although she may NOT confess to being there when Phyllis fell down the stairs. And how silly was it for TIIC to repeat the Dru-falls-over-the-cliff while tussling with Phyllis and Sharon for a cell phone! Looks like JFP is going to get two incest stories for the price of one. My guess is that the question will not be really resolved until after the fans have begun screaming for Summer to be with Kyle or with Noah! Which every incestuous coupling receives the most fan support will most likely be the way that Summer's paternity is finally resolved. Of course, the fact that NONE of the young performers have acting skills which make any of their performances memorable is the one fact which JFP will refuse to take into consideration. In the meantime, of course, over on General Hospital, Michael and Kiki are still stealing kisses even though they both know NOW that they are supposedly blood relatives. No one loves incest stories like soap writers.

Years ago, a bunch of us had stock in Disney and decided to attend a stockholders meeting and let the bigwigs know what soap audiences REALLY wanted to see and hear. We put messages on a number of soap message boards, asking for soap viewers to send us E mails with their thoughts about what was wrong with their respective soaps - and what they thought would be a move forward for the soaps. We received thousands of E mails, which we took to the stockholder's meeting being held in our home town. In those thousands of E mails - not one single E mail BEGGED the idiots in charge to give soap audiences MORE incest stories! So if it is NOT the soap audience which wants all of these incest stories - who DOES want the incest stories? And, more importantly - WHY do soap writers WANT to keep dumping incest stories on the doorstep of the average soap viewer?

And these silly people keep wondering WHY their audiences are tuning out in droves!

What is even worse is that, when The Current Idiots In Charge first took over, they were all over the soap press, claiming that they were going to write stories which would show Sharon growing into a stronger and more independent woman. So far, looks to me like TIIC are going in the OPPOSITE direction! UNLESS Sharon was merely dreaming that she changed the results of the DNA report. And WHY would Phyllis tell Sharon that it would have been easy for Sharon to change Nick's name to Jack - but the report which Nick requested ONLY tested Nick's DNA against some hairs from Summer's hairbrush. JACK was not involved in any way in the second DNA test which Nick requested. In order to change the report about the DNA results, Sharon would have had to add the word NOT to the report!

However, in the event that Sharon really DID change the DNA report, and is, most likely, going to remain mum about Phyllis's fall down the stairs - by the time that Sharon finally confesses - it seems to me like it would be the end of Sharon's character on Y&R. Since Sharon Case IS past the magic age of 35 - and JFP is know to despise all performers who have passed the age of 35 - there is always the possibility that this story will turn out to be Sharon's swan song as well - and it will not be long before Sharon Case is joining Michelle Stafford in the EXIT line.

Phyllis tells Sharon that all she had to do was hit delete on the computer and switch Nick's name for Jack's to change the DNA results. WTH? How would changing the names affect the outcome? You would have to put Jack's/ someone else's DNA in the test to change the outcome. And the flashback we watch had the lab tech saying the results were already in. Stupid writers.

Was that a rhetorical question about the incest is best stories?

Because I have a feeling you know the answer to the question.

I am not sure it would exactly be a rhetorical question - but, it seems to me that, since there is NO evidence whatsoever that there are legions of soap opera fans who are clamoring for more and more incest stories - and, yet - soaps appear, at times, to have wall-to-wall incest stories - that there MUST be some bigwig somewhere - who has a lot of pull - who keeps pestering the soap writers to keep promoting incest stories.

And, if it is not some bigwig somewhere who is going around, convincing the soap writers to keep dishing out more and more incest stories - then it must be the soap writers themselves. WHY are so many soap writers fixated on delivering incest stories to an audience which is clearly NOT enthusiastic about that type of story? Does that mean that there are soap writers who are, personally, involved in incestuous relationships - and they hope to validate their personal decisions by promoting stories about incestuous relationships to a nation-wide audience?

IF, as the network nitwits keep claiming - it is ALL about ratings - then why would network types keep pushing the type of story which their audience clearly does NOT really want to see? Wouldn't it make more sense to showcase stories which the audience DOES want to see?

But, for some very odd and very illogical reason, the vast majority of soap writers never met an incest story which they didn't love at first sight.

So you have to wonder WHAT soap writers are trying to accomplish by promoting incest stories to an audience which clearly is not enthused about incest.

It seems to me that I read an interview once, long ago, by a soap writer - can't remember which one - who said that he/she believed that it was his/her responsibility to "teach" the soap opera audience what type of story the audience wanted to see on the screen. It seems to me that the audience already KNOWS what type of story they want to see on the screen - so there really is no need for soap writers to become so wrapped up in "teaching" the soap audience what type of story the soap audience should want to see on the screen - that they forget that IF the audience is tuning out in droves, your show will soon end up losing so many viewers that your show will end up on the chopping block!

On another note - I think Jack fans can probably relax - because my guess is that Summer will eventually be revealed to be Jack's daughter. The reason for this is that the actors whom JFP installed as new Summer and new Noah were once a romantic duo on Hollywood Heights. I believe that JFP's end plans have always been for Summer and Noah to become the romantic centerpiece of Y&R. The only way this can happen is if Noah and Summer are NOT biologically related.

Of course, all three of these kids would be doing themselves and their audience a favor if they got out of the acting business - because none of them have put in any electrifying performances yet. My guess is that JFP will keep an eye on audience reaction and keep an eye on how many audience members begin clamoring for Summer to reunite with Kyle - and how many audience members begin clamoring for Summer to hook up with Noah - especially since the audience now believes that Summer really IS Noah's biological sibling. And IF the preferred teen-aged audience seems to swing more in favor of Kyle rather than in favor of Noah - then Summer will still continue to be Nick's daughter. But I doubt very much that a Kyle and Summer romance is any part of JFP's end game. Of course, the part of the audience which would be happy if all three of them packed up and moved to Europe tomorrow - will be totally ignored - as always.

But, one of the reasons why I am leaning in the direction of it eventually being revealed that Sharon was really hallucinating and merely believed that she changed the report of the DNA results which Nick received when, in fact, Sharon did not actually do anything - is because I believe it has been obvious from the get-go that JFP's end game was for Noah and Summer to become her centerpiece romantic couple. And the only way to do that is for Summer to finally be revealed to be Jack's daughter. Unless another new actor comes in to take over the role of Kyle. But, at this point, it does not seem likely that JFP plans to make Summer and Kyle her centerpiece romantic couple.

Hopefully, some day, far in the future - someone who worked on soaps will write a tell-all book and reveal the reasons why soap writers kept pushing incest stories to an audience which was obviously NOT interested - at the same time that ratings were falling like lead balloons. Until then, the question will remain a mystery, I guess.

Hi Everyone! Well we didn’t get our wish that Phyllis would run out in traffic and get hit by Chris! LOL It was an argument with Sharon and them tussling over the phone (does this bring memories back of how Dru went over the cliff?) ending with Phyllis slipping and falling down the stairs; oh, that’s going to leave a mark! What do they expect, running through the graveyard and up a stair well with spike heels on! How ridiculous! And I didn’t know that the “ranch”, wherever they had the gals, was next door to the cemetery? LOL

I was reading the Message Board Friday and someone actually posted that it happened in the grave yard, Phyllis tripped on her dress and Sharon “beat her over and over again with a shovel”! Where in the HE!! do some of these people get their information from…everybody was posting, “Sharon is a murderer!” Give me a break!. The Admin finally took it down and posted the “correct” spoiler.

Saints be praised! Billy just gave Carmine his walking papers…it couldn’t have happened to a better man! LOL Now we know why Michael is in jail and Carmine isn’t…those “elusive” video cameras caught Michael with a gun on him. I have NO idea WHY they have those cameras, the only work half the time! LOL

Billy tries to talk Melanie into filing a sexual harassment suit against Adam…this girl is “supposed” to be a brilliant, upcoming attorney, why wouldn’t she think of that on her own? UGH!!! If she works out for Billy like she did for Adam/Victor…good luck Billy!

Loved it, loved it, loved it!!!!!!! Adam had his chance to confront Nick, and boy oh boy did he let him have it!!!!! Jack was right by his side and told Nick he agreed with everything that Adam said. Be still my heart! LOL By the way, Jack sure can wear a tux, can’t he? Yum!!!!

All I can say is, if they are going to TRY to make Season and Kyle a “Romeo and Juliet” story…..they had BETTER do a recast of Kyle!!!!!! There is ABSOLUTELY NO chemistry with those two! He looks like he could pass for the “son” of Frankenstein! LOL I would think that, after the reveal that they are brother/sister, it would change their feelings (whether it be true or not). But somehow TIIC are having them have the same sexual feelings for each other and they told each other as much…..how GROSS!!!!
